Jack,

The car in question was recently added to a friends growing collection of low mile original survivor cars and IMHO it is one of the nicest unrestored original survivor Camaro's I have seen. The car is a very low mile RS Z/28 in 53 Camaro Gold and has 727 Saddle custom interior. Everything on the car appears original and untouched right down to the plug wires. The car has been researched back through 2 previous owners, one of which was the original owner who is now in his early 60's. When the current owner pulled the jack out, I was floored by its original patina and that was when we looked at the foam sleeve. It wears a few small stress cracks due to age but other than that, it appears an original and that's what we are trying to verify against another low mile survivor? I am thinking it's an original part as the entire car appears to be untouched by anyone and is virtually flawless throughout. I'll talk to the owner this week and he if he minds me posting a couple pictures. If anyone else cares to chime in...feel free.

Cheers
